Adjustment of supply chain finance payables when a commercial dispute leads to a reduction in the confirmed invoice value.

| Inventory / Cost of Goods Sold | Asset/Expense | - | 2,500.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
When an invoice confirmed on an SCF platform is disputed (e.g., for quality issues), the liability is reduced, and the corresponding inventory value or COGS is adjusted.
